Issue #86 has been updated by Roy Nielsen.
...
and this is exactly where this resource becomes unpredictable if on one host
/foo/bar/a exists but on one one host only /foo/bar and your tree should create
/foo/bar/a/b/c
so - how do you do this now?
one one host puppet would manage (owner, etc.) folder a on the other not,
where it might
Yes, if one wanted/needed a specific set of ownership on a tree, or part of a
tree, that could/should be managed separate from the "create". This would
mandate the use of a "before" or "require"...
be different and for example not chmod 0755 which would break access to
your
leave for the daemon, which would make the puppet-run incomplete and not able
to
set everything correctly. Or: what if you have 2 trees: /foo/bar/a/b/c and
/foo/bar/a/e/f in one tree the owner is set to root in the other it is set to
mail. On a vanilla host /foo doesn't exist. So what is owner /foo? Maybe root
maybe mail? depends on which host which tree resource would have been applied
earlier.
see above.
Furthermore in the second run: how would puppet know from which part of the
tree it manages that resource and what should it do if somebody changes in the
above example permission of b ? In the first run it would set them correctly
and then somebody changes it and what would it do then in the second run?
I see this (#86) as a "create" issue - not an issue of maintaining tree
permissions. That should be done as a different resource, with this as a
"before", or be "required".
I see the "create_dir" option (maybe of ensure => ?) to handle ensuring the
directories are created.
but... I'm rather newish to puppet and target managing clients not servers so I
may not be seeing this through the same pair of glasses :)
